I am sure that it was a very special ride that you will always remember.

Like it was yesterday. I can still smell the fuel and oil as he fired up the engine and how it felt!

He had passed in 1989 and thank goodness, Janet from Kansas bought it and is still flying her today! It looks even better every year I see that plane!
